What's all this feedback stuff anyway?? This talk will discuss many different kinds of feedback including digital, analog, sociological, and animal. Feedback in terms even an ASIC designer can understand.
Robert A. Pease was born August 1940 in Rockville, Connecticut. He attended Mount Hermon School and graduated from MIT in 1961 with a BSEE degree. He was employed at George A. Philbrick Researches from 1961-1975 and designed many Operational Amplifiers, Analog Computing Modules, and Voltage-Frequency Converters.
Pease joined National Semiconductor in 1976. He has designed several analog ICs including power regulators, voltage references, Voltage-to-Frequency Converters, temperature sensors, and amplifiers. He has written about 60 magazine articles and holds about 10 US Patents. Pease is the self-declared Czar of Bandgaps since 1986. He enjoys hiking, hack-packing, and following abandoned railroad roadbeds. He also designs Voltage-to-Frequency converters in his spare time.
Pease has written the definitive book, TROUBLESHOOTING ANALOG CIRCUITS (published by Butterworth-Heinemann, May 1991), now in its third printing. He is also a columnist in Electronic Design magazine, with over 90 columns published. The column, PEASE PORRIDGE, covers a wide range of topics and was awarded a Certificate of Merit from the Jesse II. Neal Awards Committee of American Business Publications, in March 1992.
